San Bernardino County anticipates resumption of CalFresh benefits

San Bernardino County, CA — The San Bernardino County Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) is sharing an important update regarding the anticipated resumption of CalFresh benefits.

On Nov. 6, a federal court ordered the release of all CalFresh funding in California. Following that decision, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) directed the California Statewide Automated Welfare System (CalSAWS) to move forward with sending out benefit files. As a result, CalFresh households are anticipated to receive their benefits, in accordance with the court order.

Here’s what that means for CalFresh customers:

• Households that normally receive benefits between November 1–7 are anticipated to have their benefits available by November 7.
• Households that normally receive benefits between November 8–10 are anticipated to receive their benefits as normal.
• Households determined to be newly eligible for November are also anticipated to receive their benefits.

“We want CalFresh customers to know that benefits are moving forward as planned,” said TAD Director James LoCurto. “While the situation continues to develop, our team is closely monitoring updates and will share any new information right away.”

TAD encourages customers to check their EBT card balance to confirm their benefits are available. Customers who have not yet received their November benefits should continue to check their balance at BenefitsCal.com or by calling 1-877-410-8829.
